Most of the analyses concerning signed networks have focused on the balance theory, hence identifying frustration with undirected, triadic motifs having an odd number of negative edges; much less attention has been paid to their directed…
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a class of advanced nuclear fission reactors characterized by their compact core size (typically <300 MWe) and passive safety systems. Their modular design enables on-site assembly, making them suitable for…
In an increasingly interconnected world, understanding congestion-related phenomena in transportation and their underlying mechanisms is crucial for improving efficiency. As the transportation system becomes denser, different modes of…
In this work, we present typical challenges encountered when developing methods for controlling crowds of people (or animal swarms). We discuss which elements shall be considered and the role they play to achieve a robust control in a…
In many epidemiological and ecological contexts, there is a trade-off between infections and interactions. This arises because the links between individuals capable of spreading infections are also often associated with beneficial…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been prevalent in particle physics for over three decades, shaping many aspects of High Energy Physics (HEP) analyses. As AI's influence grows, it is essential for physicists…
The pedestrian gait features - body sway frequency, amplitude, stride length, and speed, along with pedestrian personal space and directional bias, are important parameters to be used in different pedestrian dynamics studies. Gait feature…
Migration plays a crucial role in urban growth. Over time, individuals opting to relocate led to vast metropolises like London and Paris during the Industrial Revolution, Shanghai and Karachi during the last decades and thousands of smaller…
Gravity is one of the most prominent models used across various social areas, including economics, demography, mobility, politics, and other systems where spatial interactions are relevant. The model represents a flexible approach that…
The preservation of endangered languages is a widely discussed issue nowadays. Languages represent essential cultural heritage and can provide valuable botanical, biological, and geographical information. Therefore, it is necessary to…
This paper examines mode choice behaviour regarding Electric Micro-Mobility (EMM) among car and public transport users using a Latent Class Choice Modelling (LCCM) approach. Utilizing stated preference survey data from 1,671 Brisbane…
The latent space approach to complex networks has revealed fundamental principles and symmetries, enabling geometric methods. However, the conditions under which network topology implies geometricity remain unclear. We provide a…
Collective decision-making is a process by which a group of individuals determines a shared outcome that shapes societal dynamics; from innovation diffusion to organizational choices. A common approach to model these processes is using…
Pedestrian dynamics models have provided valuable insights into pedestrian interactions, collision avoidance, and self-organized crowd behavior using mathematical, computational, AI-based, and heuristic approaches. However, existing models…
The study examines how Gacha games affect gambling practices by analyzing when players start playing and how often they play and how much money they spend on games. The modified Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) serves as the research…
Migraine literacy among the public is known to be low, and this lack of understanding has a negative impact on migraineurs' quality of life. To understand this impact, we use text mining methods to study migraine discussion on the Reddit…
Nearly 110 million people are forcibly displaced people worldwide. However, estimating the scale and patterns of internally displaced persons in real time, and developing appropriate policy responses, remain hindered by traditional data…
In an effort to evidence the Kondratieff cycle more scientifically than the way economists do, physical variables are studied rather than monetary indicators. Previously published graphs are reproduced and updated here with recent data. A…
Several sports tournaments contain a round-robin group stage where the teams are assigned to groups subject to some constraints. Hence, the organisers usually use a computer-assisted random draw to avoid any dead end, a situation when the…
Election polls play a critical role in political discussions by probing public opinion and enabling political parties to assess their performance before elections. However, traditional polling methods sometimes fail to predict election…
